I'm looking for information on where i can purchase a Laptop case fan
for a HP Pavillion XH455.

I have scoured Ebay and was unable to find the part that im looking for.

here is a link to the needed part from www.laptopparts.com

http://www.laptopparts.com/item.asp?pnum=20030000024577&ml_brand=Hewlett%20Packard&ml_series=Pavilion&ml_model=XH455&ref=mylaptop

this is how the part is sold retail.  I do not need the whole housing
and heatsink, just the fan.

the following models of HP laptops will also contain a compatble part.

OmniBook XE3B
OmniBook XE3-GE
Pavilion N5415
Pavilion N5425
Pavilion N5430
Pavilion N5441
Pavilion N5455
Pavilion N5461
Pavilion N5470
Pavilion N5475
Pavilion N5481
Pavilion XH455
Pavilion XH485
Pavilion XH535
Pavilion XH545
Pavilion XH555
Pavilion XH575
Pavilion XH635
Pavilion XH675

so, what i need is a place to purchase this part (im willing to
purchase the more than just the fan as long as the fan is included)
but im looking for a cheaper alternative as to the site above.

doesnt have to be new, just needs to be guaranteed to work.

found the part i was looking for directly from HP at half the cost
(kinda surprising actually)
